Mother’s Day is Sunday. I have a mom, and a wife, with whom I have two kids with. I also have a fantastic mother in law.

Moms are great. Moms rule. Moms are comforting. Moms help you when you get hurt. Moms run the world. Dads are great too, but there is nothing quite like your mom. Moms just ease all the tension you may have in this world. It’s no different for me. I may be my father’s son, but I go to my mom with most of my problems or short comings. If I have a bad panic attack, I talk to my mom and then my therapist. She knows how to talk me down, how to comfort me. She knows how to help me breath and pull through the worst of it. She’s also made sure I have been level headed in everything I have done and still do. Be it sports, politics, family stuff, marriage stuff, kids stuff, she keeps me in line and keeps me focused. She was the stay at home parent when I was a kid, so obviously I followed in her foot steps. Both my parents were there for everything, but my mom cleaned the cuts and scrapes, made my lunches, got me ready for school, taught me the importance of doing my chores. These are things I am now trying to instill in my kids. I learned all this from her. She was the one who told me I should propose to my wife. I knew I was going to marry her, I just needed that nudge that my mom provided. She has helped me with house stuff, bills, basically stuff that all adults have to get accustomed to. She has lead the way for all of my life.

My mother in law is also the world’s best mother in law. She’s taught me how to use tools, to do repairs and projects around my home, how to garden, how to deal when her daughter when we get in a dumb argument. She rules. I know the cliché about in laws, but I have none of that with any in laws, but especially none with my mother in law. I feel very close to her.

Then we have my wife. She is the best partner I could have ever dreamed for. She’s strong, smart, funny, loving, loyal and the best provider. She’s all that and so much more as a partner and a mom. She works her butt off everyday, then comes home and pores herself into our kids days. She’s a great relief, and when she walks through the door, all of us light up. We are so happy to see her. She makes all of our days instantly better. This past year, while very hard, has been great having her work from home. I love going downstairs to do laundry and see her. We get to have nice little conversations daily. I adore our lunch dates. It’s been wonderful. The kids have loved it too. She comes to every game our kids have. She supports my daily running habit. She cheers me on. She makes me feel better when I’m sick or when I’m just having a bad day. She is the best. She loves me and she loves being a mom. I love her, and I know the sun sets and rises with her in our kids eyes. She is the absolute best person ever. It’s over, she won, and I’m thrilled, and so so so lucky that she chose me to spend her life with, and give me two awesome kids.

I love all three of you ladies. So don’t forget your mom or wife or in law this Sunday. Show them love, show them how important they are and heap the much deserved praise they have earned. Happy Mother’s Day to every mom out there. Enjoy your day. Then continue to go out there and kick ass like you all do.
